This series visits projects in developing nations around the world
which attempt to combat often overwhelming economic and social
strife. One program takes students to Jamaica, where the
disenfranchised poor have remained virtually unaffected by change
and where desperate poverty provides particularly fertile ground
for the mistreatment of children. Other programs discuss the links
between population and the environment, a small nation's AIDS
awareness program, the media's role in promoting social change, and a resort that is being developed without changing the local
ecology.
